Damn! Google keeps losing their best players....First Reyes, then Sheryl Sandberg, and now Douglass Merrill....It seems like the 'good ones' are leaving for brighter skies (and the stock sure ain't helping things along).....and the bad ones are staying on...which means bad news for current employees.

If Google really is the "#1" company to work for as claimed by Fortune and it's own CRAZY PR team, then NO ONE (especially not the stars) would leave...yet they keep leaving...to Facebook, to startups, to go back to school.

Google's glory days are over.

I knew the honeymoon had to end someday. I've said all along that internally, the management team SUCKS at Google. Things are chaotic (in a bad way). As they try to scale larger and larger (hiring 800 people a month) they have totally lost their original appeal- innovation, etc- and have seriously become BUREAUCRATIC.

I know someone who works there and they have a monthly 'Dilbert' management meeting to discuss ways they can improve things because things are sooo bad there these days.
